Arizona
By: Lindsey S. Both you and your family should visit Arizona. But, before you go, you need to know some fascinating facts, things to do, and what to wear.
First of all, you need to know what to wear. In July, the average temperature is 80°F. That means a few tank tops, t-shirts, shorts, skirts, and sneakers or flip-flops. Also, Arizona has lots of mountains, plateaus, and deserts. So, when you come, be sure to remember that there will be a lot of hiking if you are traveling to places. A few more pieces of equipment to bring are fishing equipment because the Colorado River flows through the Grand Canyon. In January, the average temperature is 41°F which means you should bring sneakers, long pants, sweatshirts, and long sleeve shirts. Get ready for the cold!
Next, you need to know places to visit. One area you should visit is the North Eastern part. It has a Petrified Forest National Park. It should be a beautiful sight because over millions of years ago, ancient trees turned into shiny stones. Also, it has an Agate House that is built by petrified wood and a Canyon De Chelly National Monument. Another area you should visit is the capital area of Phoenix. It has eight of the city’s oldest homes. In the Doll and Toy Museum, it has Native American art and two of the city’s oldest homes.
Finally, you should know some interesting facts. Some famous people there are Joan Cooney who created Sesame Street and Helen Hull Jacobs who is a tennis star that won the U.S women’s championship four times in a row. Arizona is the home of the Grand Canyon. The colors are blue and gold, the state tree is Paloverde, and the state bird is Cactus Wren. Finally, the state flower is Saguaro Cactus Bloom and some songs are “Arizona” and “Arizona March Song”.
Now that you know what things to wear, activities to do, and fascinating facts, you are ready to take off to Arizona. I hope you and you family have a great trip there!
